Pretty much all of the cheeses were invented long before pH meters were. The pH scale itself was invented only in the early 1900’s.

Technology is great for making a large amount of cheese that’s very similar. You don’t need it to make any specific type of cheese that’s over 100 yrs old though, and that’s nearly all of them.



Sure, you don't need technology — as long as you have exactly the same climate and other conditions as where the original cheese was made.


Or Google them and have a refrigerator and humidity control.


You just mentioned three pieces of technology.


Oh I see, this was a standard “aaaaaaactually” comment. We were discussing labware and pH meters. Cheesemaking is itself technology.
